Condition Report
The hinge is in working order but the clasp does not catch closed. Some of the engine turned detail is slightly rubbed, and there are just surface wear and tear scratches to the piece. The gilt interior is a little dull, and tarnished in places. There is a possible repaired small split below the clasp button. There are two corresponding hallmarks to the inside which are clear and legible.
